In Pictures: All we know on the Berlin truck attacker

In fresh developments following the Berlin truck attack on Monday and the killing by Italian police near Milan early Friday of the prime suspect Anis Amri, ISIS has confirmed the killed suspect was indeed the one who carried out the deadly truck attack on a Berlin Christmas market.

ISIS also published through its Aamaq website a video of Anis Amri.

In the video, Amri pledges his allegience to ISIS leader Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and encourages more attacks on Europe. The terrorist group also praised Amri for launching two attacks, the Berlin market attack and a “possible second in Milan,” where he was killed.

Al Arabiya cannot confirm the authenticity of the video but it looks like it is filmed by by the suspect himself standing on an apparently abandoned bridge in a European city.
